Southwark Spinning Mill

The Southwark Spinning Mill was a cotton mill located in the Southwark district of London, England during the mid-19th century. For a long time, the mill had been on the decline, but it was purchased by wealthy businessman Crawford Starrick and gifted to Octavia Plumb, who used child labor to work the mill. In 1868, Jacob Frye infiltrated the mill and freed its child workers after assassinating foreman Justin Keswick.
